Convert Excel Formula To Power Query

Hello all,

 

Can someone please help me convert this to power query? I keep getting the token literal expected error. I have googled everywhere and cannot figure the result out. I really appreciate any help! Thanks in advance!

 

IF((OR([Evaluation Status]='Reviewed',[Evaluation Status]='Finalized')*AND([Days Past POP End Date]>=121))'Delinquent',IF(AND([Evaluation Status]='Rated',[Days Past POP End Date]>=91),'Very Late',IF((OR([Evaluation Status]='Initiated',[Evaluation Status]='Drafted'))*AND[Days Past POP End Date]>=31)),'Late','NA')))

Hi @ca-traveler - when you add a column Power Query, you need to use the following syntax for nest if with or + and conditions:

if ( [ColumnName1] = "text1" or [ColumnName1] = "text" ) 
    and [ColumnName2] >= 121 
    then "Result1" else
if  [ColumnName1] = "text3"  
    and [ColumnName2] >= 91 
    then "Result2" else
    "N/A"

Hi @ca-traveler ,

Here the M code for the query:

if ( [Evaluation Status] = "Reviewed"    or 
     [Evaluation Status] = "Finalized" ) and 
     [Days Past POP End Date] >= 121 then "Delinquent" 
else if [Evaluation Status] = "Rated" and [Days Past POP End Date] >= 91 then "Very Late" else if ( [Evaluation Status] = "Initiated" or [Evaluation Status] = "Drafted" ) and [Days Past POP End Date] >= 31 then "Late" else "NA"

 

Let me know if this helps 🙂
